Scale of anxiety from my experience
Level 10 - this requires immediate intervention. The subject is at imminent risk of danger.
Level 9 - they are barely able to function but it’s intense and overwhelming. The mind barely can do much, but stimulus is extremely overwhelming.
Level 8 - this is not a constant panic attack, but they are the state of the recurring debilitating ones
Level 7 - still severe dread but it’s on the level of ND social anxiety combined with unfamiliarity — the same as fear of something catastrophic happening
Level 6 - Typical social anxiety but with high stakes
Level 5 - typical social anxiety for an audhd introvert
Level 4 - I’m just a bit nervous but I’ll get through this
Level 3 - I’m ok as long as the mask stays on
Level 2 - I’m in public but I trust these people and I’ll be fine / someone else is in the room at home with me
Level 1 - safe at home, no worries, and no one in the room to even worry about
Let me know where it can be better or if this was any good.
There’s hope, you will get through this.
